Mask Girl

Yo, fellow binge-watchers!

Just want to share my thoughts on this Netflix gem - "Mask Girl." Trust me, this show isn't just your regular popcorn entertainment - it's like a rollercoaster ride for your feels!

Each episode is like a whole new plot, from office craziness to family stuff and a bit of dark humor. But here's the kicker: every character's the star of their own show. You see their side of things.

But what sets "Mask Girl" apart? It's the crazy uniqueness. This ain't your run-of-the-mill show,. It's like a mix of dark and gritty, with Twists. And the way they blend it all? Mind-blowing. Kudos to the writer for coming up with this twisted, mind-boggling concept.

This is another great Korean drama that is worth your time.

I had no idea what the story was going to be about and even as I was watching the show, I could not predict where the story would go.

I don't want to give too much away, but each episode is a unique point of view that progresses the plot and keeps the show fresh and unique.

The last couple of episodes bring to mind the early work of Park Chan Wook, which is never a bad thing.

I wish the US made shows like this, but it seems like Korea is producing far more interesting tv shows than the US.

I'd also advise watching it with subtitles rather than overdubs. The overdubs are never as good.

We really were not expecting this. Described as a 'Dark comedy' which probably the first few episodes were, but then it went into full thriller mode with high school and prison drama.

I can understand the 18 rating with graphic violence and lots of blood but thankfully not so graphic sexual acts.

Definitely not for children. There's revenge, self discovery, bullying, misogyny, bullying, loneliness, betrayal, parental relationships and society's judgemental attitude's especially online.

Good character building and direction with back stories given black & white treatment or year subtitled. Script and storyline is pretty good with unexpected twists but some scenes needs reality check like many horror or thrillers.

One of the best K-dramas to date.

This is based on a webtoon and congratulations to the casting crew as they managed to get very similar actors to the characters. It is a story about a girl who has craved fame since childhood but because she does not meet the required standards of beauty of society she fails not only in her quest for fame but also her personal life. She comes up with the idea of wearing a mask in her internet videos and she becomes popular, but from this comes a downward spiral as her life falls into chaos. There are 3 actors who play mask girl and the timeline moves forward and back but is well worth sticking with it as it does have an unexpected twist. The series can move slow at times but once the pressure ramps up you are really tensed up until the end. Well written adaptation and superbly acted, very much worth a watch.

It's very unusual series.

At first I wanted to quit watching halfway through the second episode. But I continued to watch and my opinion completely changed. Each series is a separate chapter, revealing one of the characters, and together they are intertwined into one crazy story.

If you like tough social dramas with a hint of bloody madness, good twists and cool actors, then this series is for you) in my opinion, the series is comparable in impressions with the Parasites, I rarely see something so ambiguous and interesting. The more I think about my viewing experience for writing this review, the more I like it. I will definitely watch it a second time.
